Shouldn't there always be a fallback option in case a (modern) codec is not supported (yet) natively?

The one thing I like most about VLC is that it always works (so far).

That's what I've described. If the browser _can_ play it, then we just let the browser play it. Otherwise we use vlc to play it.

Our plan is up on the wiki too: http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=VLC.js
